As cooler fall weather gets closer (i hope!) the awesome lecture series ‘Architecture at the Umlauf’ starts up again.  Leading off this fall is local architect Rick Black.  You may have seen Rick’s work in Dwell Magazine, or on past Austin home tours. 

I’m a big fan of Rick and Cindy black – they excel at designing beautiful and efficient spaces.  I’ve also posted about Cindy’s kitchen-centric design services here: Austin Design Resource: Hello Kitchen Design.  Don’t miss Rick’s talk!  Details below:

Check out my new featured listing at 4508 Oakmont:

It’s a beautiful remodel right in Central Austin with a lot of neat details.  For example, below see the family cat enjoying the reading nook in the stair landing – notice the custom steel railing.  See more photos and details here: 4508 Oakmont

Most of you are probably familiar with Design Sponge – a beautifully designed blog about beautiful design.  Even better – they frequently feature the work of Austin architects and designers.  You may remember some nice coverage of one of my listings (with a spirited Austin vs. NY/SF debate in the comments): Design Sponge: where i dream of living. 

Today Design Sponge posted a beautiful home by Austin designer Kelly Moseley.  Here are a few photos, but be sure to click through to Design Sponge for many more, along with design notes from Kelly: Design Sponge: sneak peek: kelly moseley.  Also see Kelly’s website, Anabel Interiors.
